Benefits of technology

The present invention is a treadmill that allows for quick and easy adjustment of the angle at which the platform is inclined. This makes it easier and faster to modify the treadmill's performance for different exercise options and to comfortably adjust it for different users.

Problems solved by technology

The tread platforms of conventional treadmills commonly have a fixed angle of inclination that cannot satisfy the preferences of different users, or enhance the training of particular muscles.
Thus, the use of conventional treadmills is monotonous and cannot evenly train different muscles.
However, the adjustable angular positions of the tread platform are limited.
However, these designs are commonly expensive.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]Referring to FIGS. 1-3, a treadmill 10 in accordance with the present invention is shown comprising a tread platform 20, a swing unit 30, and two inclination angle adjustment blocks 40.

[0025]The tread platform 20 comprises a base frame 21, and two longitudinal frame bars 23 mounted at the bottom side of the base frame 21 and respectively extending along two opposite lateral sides of the base frame 21.

[0026]The swing unit 30 comprises an axle 31 and two links 33. The axle 31 and the links 33 are made of metal. The links 33 are kept apart at a predetermined distance, each having one end thereof fixedly fastened to the axle 31 by, for example, welding process.

[0027]The inclination angle adjustment blocks 40 are slightly elastic and shaped like a flower, as shown in FIG. 4. This flower-like configuration is simply an example but not a limitation. Each inclination angle adjustment blocks 40 comprises a core shaft 41, 6 petals 43, and 6 bearing faces P1˜P6.

[0028]The petals 43 are di...

Abstract

A treadmill includes a tread platform having two longitudinal frame bars, a swing unit pivotally mounted at the bottom side of the tread platform, and two inclination angle adjustment blocks. Each inclination angle adjustment block has a core shaft defining an axis line, and a plurality of bearing faces connected to one another and respectively disposed in parallel to the axis line and adapted for selectively supporting the tread platform on the ground. Each bearing face defines with the axis line a respective different vertical distance. The core shafts of the inclination angle adjustment blocks are pivotally coupled to the swing unit to support the inclination angle adjustment blocks at an outer side relative to the longitudinal frame bars of the tread platform. Thus, the treadmill allows manual multi-angle adjustment of the angle of inclination of the tread platform.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to treadmills and more particularly, to such a treadmill that allows manual multi-angle adjustment of the angle of inclination of the tread platform.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]With the modern busy lifestyles, indoor exercise has become a trend nowadays. Among fitness enthusiasts, treadmill is one of the most popular fitness equipment.[0005]The tread platforms of conventional treadmills commonly have a fixed angle of inclination that cannot satisfy the preferences of different users, or enhance the training of particular muscles. Thus, the use of conventional treadmills is monotonous and cannot evenly train different muscles.[0006]In order for a user to adjust the angle of inclination of the tread platform in simulating different road conditions subject to personal requirements, the present applicant invented a design for the adjustment of the angle of inclination of the tr...
